The Evolution of Adam: What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say about Human Origins

by Peter Enns

Grand Rapids (MI): Brazos, 2012. 192 pages.

“Enns sees four options available for those seeking to relate science and Scripture: (1) accept evolution and reject Christianity, (2) accept Paul’s view of Adam as binding and reject evolution, (3) reconcile the two by positing a first human pair in the evolutionary process, or (4) rethink Genesis and Paul … the book is written not only to make the case for [the fourth] option, but also to explore how to go about it in detail,” writes reviewer James F. McGrath.
